What Information Is Needed to Customize Storage Solution for Warehouses?

When customizing a storage solution for a warehouse, gathering accurate information is essential to ensure efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness. 

The first step is understanding the warehouse environment. Key details include the warehouse’s dimensions—length, width, and clear height—as well as floor load capacity, column placement, door locations, and any structural limitations. It is also important to know the type of handling equipment, such as forklifts or reach trucks, to determine aisle widths and rack accessibility.

Equally critical is the pallets and goods. This includes pallet dimensions, weight and storage turnover frequency. These factors determine the racking style, spacing, and load capacity. For example, high-turnover goods may require selective racking for easy access, while bulk storage may benefit from drive-in or push-back systems.

The racking requirements must also be defined, including rack type, bay dimensions, number of levels, load per level and any necessary accessories such as safety guards, wire decking, or pallet support bar. A warehouse layout or sketch helps plan optimal aisle configurations, inbound and outbound paths, and future expansion possibilities.
